-----------------------

On the official road outside Zhongqing City, more than a thousand elite soldiers formed a military formation and marched slowly. In the military formation, there were large flags with the word "Tao" and talismans symbolizing the power of the Taiwei at that time.

The team in front of me is Tao Ai, the old Taiwei who returned from Shicheng County.

The old lieutenant was already very old, so when Xia and Li invaded before, Xiao Cheng did not allow him to go to the battlefield in person.

But this does not mean that the old lieutenant did not contribute in this war.

The old Taiwei was born as a lowly soldier in the army. He fought on the battlefield step by step and rose to the high position of General Wei. Because of his character, the Old Taiwei gained a high prestige in the army.

It was because of him who was stationed in Shicheng County to prevent the border troops from rebelling, and at the same time, he coordinated everything and stabilized the morale of the army. It was because of him that he could wait until Xiao Cheng arrived in person to subdue the border troops and relieve the crisis in the Yun Kingdom.

Now that the Three Kingdoms are in peace talks, the border troops have returned. After all, the old lieutenant is no longer young, and his old arms and legs are prone to problems, so Xiao Cheng took advantage of this moment to transfer him back to the capital to be recuperated.

At this time, at the city gate, a group of ceremonial officers, soldiers, officers and officials were seen in the distance, waiting respectfully at the city gate. At the front, there was also a palace attendant, carrying a carriage of eight tall and strong black horses.

The golden car is pulled with a gorgeous shape and is particularly eye-catching.

Seeing the flag of the old lieutenant, everyone immediately stepped forward and lined up to meet Tao Ai, who was at the front of the military formation. He had white hair and stood erect on his horse. They bowed and saluted, and shouted in unison:

"In accordance with His Majesty's imperial edict, I respectfully welcome Mr. Tao Taiwei back to the capital!"

Although there are not hundreds of officials greeting him, the battle now is not small, which shows Xiao Cheng's respect for Tao Ai, a loyal and upright veteran.

People who join the army attach great importance to honor. Now that Tao Ai is a Taiwei, his official position has reached the highest level, and he has no pursuit. But now when he sees the many officials who are waiting for him at the city gate, he is still agitated in his heart and his face is full of excitement.

Moving.

The palace attendant on the side immediately stepped forward with the imperial edict in hand and said loudly:

"In obedience to the heavens and in response to his orders, Emperor Dayun issued an edict: Taiwei Tao Ai, in his sixtieth year, still led troops to the front line personally, sat in the army and stabilized the morale of the troops. His loyalty can be reflected in heaven and earth. This is a special gift.

There are military chariots and chariots, and horses and horses, to show their achievements!"

The military chariots and chariots refer to the golden chariots and large chariots. The two horses of Xuan Mu were given eight black horses.

This thing sounds like a car was given as a gift, and it doesn't seem to be very expensive.

But in fact, this treatment is like a "horse and carriage" among Jiuxi.

The Jiuxi thing is nine kinds of ritual vessels and honor guards, which together form a pre-package for usurping the throne. The former Taiwei Wang Xiao had these eight kinds in his possession. If Xiao Cheng hadn't made a comeback, the process might have been completed.

However, if this thing is taken out alone, it is a reward and courtesy for the ministers, which is not too amazing.

Tao Ai hurriedly rolled down from his horse, knelt on the ground and listened to the order, and then said with excitement and respect:

"Your Majesty, Tao Ai, thank you for your kindness!"

The palace attendant did not dare to let the old lieutenant kneel on the ground for long, so he quickly stepped forward to help him up and said respectfully:

"Your Majesty has said that the old lieutenant does not need to kneel down to receive the order. The march has been hard, and your majesty allows the lieutenant to go home to rest first, and then go to the palace to see you."

When Tao Ai heard this, he immediately shook his head and said:

"How dare you make Your Majesty wait? I will enter the palace to thank you!"

Seeing that Tao Ai insisted on entering the palace for an audience, the palace attendant could not stop him, so he had to say:

"Then please invite the Taiwei and the slave to come together!"

Tao Ai immediately ordered his lieutenants to lead the army into the military camp that had been prepared long ago, and he headed towards the palace under the leadership of the palace attendants.

And among the army brought back by Tao Ai, dozens of military disciples who were not wearing armor, but whose actions showed a military spirit as they advanced and retreated, were surrounding a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man raised his head and looked into the palace, feeling the throbbing coming from the Soldier Master Seal in his hand, and felt very excited in his heart.

"The military master's seal has responded! As expected, my military strategist's rise has been sealed in the Yun Kingdom!"

A group of military disciples immediately shouted in unison:

"Congratulations, Commander!"
